Review: This is Poe. I mean, that should just be the entire review. This man, though dark, was extremely talented. Poe's work is from ages ago and to this day, no one can write like him and I'm beginning to think no one will ever come close.
The madness, the darkness...within it laid his talent. If anyone hasn't read it, they should. It's a must have print copy for all book enthusiasts. I first read Poe in Jr High and I loved him from the moment I read the first passages.
However, like Tolstoy, you either love Poe or you hate him.
